Recent posts re sore baby heads and positioning reminded me that a
stuffy nose, usually due to vigorous suctioning at birth, either with
bulb or Delee suction trap (10 Fr--as in LARGE) can cause baby to have
trouble breathing when lying on one or either side.  I find most of
these babies do best almost sitting up--a modified football hold.
